Rhiannon at 25

I was standing looking in the mirror this morning as I got ready for work, thinking about someone who turned 25 today. I thought to myself - wow, I am 25 as well. I am so different to when I was 15. So I thought I'd write a post about me, at 25.

1.At 25 years old, I have lived out of
home for 6 years.

2.I have lived with Steve for just
over 4 years.

3.I have been in a relationship with
Steve for 7 years (and I still adore him :-)).

4.I have all but finished Uni, whilst
working full time the whole time.

5.I have a job that is the start of my
career.

6. I still don't like shopping. I like nice clothes, but I don't like shopping to get them. Shoe shopping is the worst.

7.I have carved out my likes and
dislikes and learnt not to take shit from people.

8.I have learnt that friends come and
go and just because you’ve been friends a long time doesn’t mean you need to
struggle to keep the friendship alive.

9.I have learnt that people are
selfish. You can bend over backwards to help them, but they won’t always be
there when you need them.

10.I have learnt the people that want
to be in your life will be there and they will be selfless and you would do
anything for them. They won’t make excuses and neither will you.

11.I
have a 5 (almost 6) year old dog.

12.I
don’t have children.

13.I
am not married (but I am engaged).

14.At
25, I have travelled to 3 other countries (including 2 different islands).

15.I
have learnt that people have opinions of me and they are willing to share those
around and it’s not worth my time getting upset by that (shame they didn’t
notice Steve standing there listening).

16.I
have learnt that these are the best years and to look after myself. To eat good
food (and splurge occasionally) and exercise regularly.

17.At
25, I have lived close to the city for 4 years. And I love it.

18.At
25, I have changed a whole lot from when I was 15. I have grown as a person and
I have found me. Not everyone likes that, but that is ok. As long as I stay true
to me.

19. I
am comfortable in my own skin and know I don’t need makeup to look good. In
fact, I embrace not wearing makeup as often as possible (ok, maybe a little
mascara!).

20. I
am looking forward to getting older. Age is just a number.

21.My
favourite cuisine is Japanese.

22. I have learnt that you cannot change others. But you can change how you interact with them.

23. I love being still. I love relaxing and being
able to sit in the same room as someone and not need to talk. Weekends for me
are quiet time, so I don’t go out every weekend and I don’t see people that
will need me to talk all the time. Not that I don’t want to, sometimes I just
prefer to be still.

24.At
25, I have no idea what the future will hold, but I am looking so forward to it!.

25.I
have not figured everything out and that is ok. I have a life ahead of me.
